Abstract: Provided are: a modified sulfide solid electrode containing a sulfide solid electrolyte having a BET specific surface area of 10 m2/g or more and containing a lithium atom, a sulfur atom, a phosphorus atom, and a halogen atom, and an epoxy compound, in which the modified sulfide solid electrolyte has a peak at 2800 to 3000 cm?1 in an infrared absorption spectrum obtained by FT-IR spectroscopy (ATR method); and a method for producing the modified sulfide solid electrolyte, which has excellent coating suitability when applied as a paste and is capable of efficiently exhibiting excellent battery performance even when a sulfide solid electrolyte having a large specific surface area is used.

Abstract: Provided are a method of manufacturing a modified sulfide solid electrolyte, which is excellent in coating suitability when applied as a paste even if a sulfide solid electrolyte has a large specific surface area, and can efficiently exhibit an excellent battery performance, the modified sulfide solid electrolyte obtained by the manufacturing method, and an electrode combined material and a lithium ion battery which exhibit an excellent battery performance. The method includes: mixing an organic halide and an organic solvent with a sulfide solid electrolyte having a BET specific surface area of 10 m2/g or more and containing a lithium atom, a sulfur atom, a phosphorus atom, and a halogen atom; and removing the organic solvent.

Abstract: A method of recovering a solvent from a mother liquor in a system in which the mother liquor also contains non-volatile matter, volatile solute and volatile solvent, and the solute concentration is low, in which a heat pump distilling column (first column) is so operated as to work only as a concentrating section of a distilling column by feeding a mother liquor to the column bottom of the heat pump distilling column, contact of non-volatile matter with the concentrating section is prevented and the column bottom liquor is sent to an evaporator so as to separate the non-volatile matter by the evaporator, thereafter, a vapor from the evaporator is fed to a distilling column (second column), and distillates of first and second columns and bottoms of the second column are withdrawn as the products. The procedures described above are carried out under specific operation conditions.
